Haven't had any lunch yet. Got some biggly wiggly from Foggy Bottom in town so we're having to pretend we're working on stuff. :(

Noodle bowl and kimchi, as the antidote to my breakfast.

Hotdogs and cake. (And it's healthy; kimchi on hotdogs erases a multitude of dietary sins.)

Small piece of salmon and a dark green salad with no salad cream. I'm doing a pre Ashes cleanse.

I've been working in Germany this year and I am struggling with the lunch mentality. There are a few local restaurants by the office which do the mittagstisch (lunchtime hot main meal) but although it is very lovely there are a few problems as far as i am concerned:
  • It takes too long - 1hr minimum, often closer to 2
  • It makes me sleepy in the afternoon
  • I like my evening meal and a big lunch puts me off that
  • A big lunch puts me off going to the gym in the evening

There is a bakery near the office which does lovely sandwiches/rolls but most of my colleagues think that missing a big lunch is a travesty. I do feel very European in philosophy, but NOT when it comes to the average working day lunch.

More of the same, same kimchi hotdogs, same cake. No complaints, I'm getting paid well for eating it at work. :-) I found the Snoopy hot dog toaster they got last year and have been using that.

They ought to make one of those where Snoopy really is lying on top. Just have to remove 'the lid' to put the bread in. :nod:

That's a pretty good idea.

Nice. I had to work early and left fuelled by muffins and coffee, so the breakfast I wanted, I'm having right now for a late lunch; kippers and toast and beans with Irish whiskey and a lager.

Ha ha, that's because it's something you like, but I it would be healthier with something other than ramen. Full marks though, for easy and tasty and under $1, even with the cold Bohemian because it was one of several the band left in the cooler in the green room.

People say what is the point of threads like this, but if it's shown us anything, it's that you can live well into your middle sixties eating foods with no obvious nutritional value. ;)
